Never before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.

According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.

However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”

A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”.The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.

As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.

1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means________.

A. beautiful clothes B. latest technology

C. delicious food D. great inventions

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about______.

A. The popularity of the documentary

B. the content of the documentary

C. the history of Chinese gourmet

D. the producer of the documentary

3.We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.

A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture

B. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality

C. the price of food is too high for many common people

D. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director

4.According to the passage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.

A. there are still so many poor people at the present time

B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough

C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so

D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countries

As a junior at McGill University, Doreen Sykora had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology(人类学) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.

These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.

Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”

For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.

1.What is the similarity between Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto?

A. They both had experiences of test anxiety.

B. They failed in all the examinations.

C. They are students from the same university.

D. They both had the same poor studying habits.

2.The underlined phrase “blank out” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_______.”

A. get an extra paper

B. be unable to think clearly

C. lose interest in the exam

D. refuse to take the exam

3.What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?

A. To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.

B. To show a stress level experienced by students.

C. To help students to reduce test anxiety.

D. To have a better understanding of test anxiety.

The day my husband fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day.His body, when I found it,was lightly covered with snow.It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk.I dropped to my knees and crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed.My first thought was,how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.

Before John’s death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors,I defined myself by my competence and independence.So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?

Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn't even help them set the table. “I'm not usually this lazy, ”I wept.Finally,my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, "Mary,cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”

Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days.One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”

I am not the person I once was, but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me.I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

1.Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.

B. The writer had been busy with her life before.

A. hard-working B. independent

C. smart D. capable

3..The underlined word“shuffled”in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________.

A. stepped steadily B. walked slowly

C. ran swiftly D. fell sadly

4..We can infer from the passage that ____________.

A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roof

B. the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's death

C. the people around the writer were friendly and supported her

D. before John’s death, the writer never asked others for help

5..The writer wrote the passage to ___________.
